Love, InshAllah: The Secret Love Lives of American Muslim Women by Ayesha Mattu, Nura Maznavi

3.0

2.5 stars. Rounded up. Some of these stories were good, some focused less on the Muslim part and more on the immigrant part. The title was a bit misleading. It definitely, mostly, is a story about immigrants of conservative parents and finding their own footing. I had similar parents but couldn’t relate to many of these stories. Also—although many tried to make their stories about religion and love it was primarily about lust which is just not what I was looking for and not what I thought this book would be.

Some of the more powerful stories encouraged me to round it up, and I do think this would have benefited from being less stories and more length to the stories they did choose.
